📞 Call Now: 0125 624 2410Winklebury was built in the early 1970s as a self-contained community on the western edge of Basingstoke. The estate is predominantly three-bed and four-bed semis and detached houses arranged around crescents and cul-de-sacs. Concrete interlocking tiles — mostly Redland 49s and Marley Ludlow Plus — are standard across the estate. Properties on the higher ground along Kenilworth Road and Tintagel Close face greater wind exposure than those sheltered in the lower crescents.
Concrete tile degradation is widespread — surface erosion exposes the aggregate, making tiles more porous and susceptible to frost damage. Ridge mortar failure is particularly common on the exposed western-facing rooflines along Kenilworth Road. Moss growth on north-facing slopes blocks valleys and retains moisture against tiles, accelerating deterioration. Many properties have had cheap uPVC gutter replacements in the 1990s that are now failing at the joints.
We work on properties across Winklebury including Kenilworth Road, Tintagel Close, Carisbrooke Close, Coniston Road, Winklebury Way and all surrounding roads. If you live in Winklebury and need a roofer, we already know your roof.
We cover every roofing need in Winklebury: repairs to individual tiles and flashings, full roof replacement, flat roofing on extensions and garages, guttering and roofline replacement, chimney repointing and lead work, and 24-hour emergency response. We also handle the specialist work that many general roofers subcontract — moss treatment, dry ridge conversion, slate matching and heritage lead.
Every job starts the same way: a free inspection, an honest assessment of what needs doing and what does not, and a written quote you can compare against others on a like-for-like basis. We do not charge for quotes, we do not charge call-out fees, and we do not push work that is not needed.
A roofer who works across three counties treats every roof the same way. A roofer who works in Winklebury week in and week out knows which tile profiles are on which streets, which failure modes appear at which property ages, and which materials perform in this specific exposure. That knowledge means faster diagnosis, correct materials first time, and repairs specified for the conditions they will actually face.
It also means we carry the right stock. Turning up with matching tiles on the first visit rather than ordering them and returning a week later is the practical difference between local knowledge and a general service.
Call 0125 624 2410 and we will arrange an inspection at a time that suits you, usually within a few days for non-urgent work and same-day for emergencies. After the inspection you receive a written quote within 48 hours setting out the work, materials by name, timeline and total cost. If you go ahead we book a start date and confirm it in writing. All work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee.
All work in Winklebury carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. That guarantee is transferable if you sell the property, which is a genuine asset when marketing a house — buyers and their surveyors take a documented, guaranteed roof considerably more seriously than an undocumented one.
The guarantee covers our workmanship. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, typically 15–30 years for tiles and 20–25 years for flat roof membranes. We register these on your behalf where registration is required and pass the documentation to you on completion.
Call us. We return, inspect, and put it right at no cost if it falls within the guarantee. We do not argue about whether a fault is workmanship or materials — we resolve it first and sort out the attribution with the supplier afterwards. That is what a guarantee should mean and it is why we put ours in writing.
Repairs from £150. Full re-roofs from £4,500. Free, no-obligation quotes. Call 0125 624 2410.

Not every roof symptom needs a contractor, and knowing which do saves both money and worry. These are the signs that genuinely warrant a call in Winklebury.
When it is not the answer: a single stained ceiling patch that never grows and never darkens after rain is usually old damage from a fault already fixed, or condensation rather than ingress. We will tell you that on the phone rather than booking an unnecessary visit. Read the repair-or-replace guide.
We inspect from ladder access and, where it matters, from inside the loft. Everything is photographed and shown to you on the day rather than described afterwards.
Within 48 hours, naming materials by manufacturer and showing access and disposal as their own lines. The quoted figure is what you pay unless you approve a change.
Date confirmed in writing and held. Where scaffold or a skip permit is needed in Winklebury, we arrange it and build the lead time in.
Standard hours, daily cleanup, and a stop-and-agree rule if anything unexpected appears once we open the roof up.

| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tiles | 1–2 hours |
| Ridge re-bedding or dry ridge | Half a day to 1 day |
| Chimney repointing and flashing | 1–2 days plus scaffold |
| Gutter or roofline replacement | 1–3 days |
| Full re-roof | 4–8 days plus scaffold |
The higher western ground takes more weather than the sheltered lower crescents, and drying times differ noticeably between the two. We build that into scheduling rather than promising dates we cannot hold.
Winklebury's crescents and cul-de-sacs give good scaffold access on most plots, though the tighter closes need the wagon parked on the through road and materials carried in.
We arrange scaffold and it is always itemised in your quote, never a hidden extra. Where staging or a skip needs to stand on the pavement or highway, a licence from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council is required — allow a few working days, particularly on tighter streets like Kenilworth Road, Carisbrooke Close, Coniston Road.
Scaffold is specified for chimney work, full valley rebuilds, re-roofing and anything needing sustained standing time at height. Most single repairs run from a roof ladder or tower without it.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tiles | £150–£280 | Matched to your existing profile |
| Ridge re-bedding | £280–£550 | Dry ridge quoted alongside |
| Chimney repointing | £250–£800 | Higher end where lime mortar is required |
| Gutter replacement | £450–£1,600 | Sized to actual roof area |
| Flat roof — garage | £1,200–£2,400 | EPDM or GRP with 20–25 year guarantee |
| Full re-roof | £4,800–£18,000 | By property type and complexity |
Worked example: a slipped-tile repair with a cracked ridge section on a typical Winklebury property runs to around £340 including access, completed in a morning.
No deposit on repairs under £500 — you pay on completion. Staged payments on re-roofs, with nothing due before materials are on site. All prices include VAT.
Covering RG23 and surrounding postcodes.
Every job in Winklebury carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee, transferable if you sell — which matters when a buyer's surveyor asks about the roof.
If a fault appears in covered work we come back and put it right at no cost.
External roofing work leaves the inside of your home undisturbed. You do not need to be there for most jobs — we just need access agreed in advance. What you will notice is noise during working hours and, on larger jobs, scaffold changing the light through affected windows.
The higher western ground takes more weather than the sheltered lower crescents, and drying times differ noticeably between the two. We protect planting and driveways, clear the site daily rather than at the end, and run a magnet sweep for nails before we leave.
"Roof on our semi on Kenilworth Road was shedding tile fragments into the garden. Full strip and re-tile with modern concrete interlocking. Clean finish, dry ridge, done in four days."
"Moss was so thick on the back slope it was blocking both valleys. They cleared the lot, treated the tiles, and fitted valley guards. First autumn without a leak in years."
"Gutter replacement — the old uPVC was leaking at every joint. New high-capacity system with proper fall and sealed fittings. Water actually goes where it should now."
Winklebury was built in the early 1970s and most properties still have their original concrete tile roofs. After 50+ years, the tiles are eroding, fixings are corroding, and mortar is crumbling. The western-facing rooflines on higher ground take more weather punishment than sheltered crescents.
Minor repairs such as replacing slipped tiles or re-bedding ridges typically cost £150–£400. More extensive work addressing widespread nail sickness or valley replacement can be £400–£900. Free quotes available.
Yes. Moss removal is one of our most common calls in Winklebury, particularly on north-facing slopes. We clear all moss, treat the surface, and can fit valley guards to reduce future blockage.
If damage is isolated — a few slipped tiles, one section of failed ridge — repair makes sense. If you have widespread nail sickness, eroding tiles, and repeated leaks, replacement is the better long-term investment. We will give you an honest assessment.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Winklebury, Basingstoke roofer who'll turn up when they say they will.
